The latest data shows that 47 percent of Kansans who were removed from Medicaid were children.
Thousands of children have lost Medicaid health coverage in the state of Kansas alone, new numbers reveal after the federal unwinding process went into effect.The renewal process for Medicaid was temporarily suspended across the United States during the coronavirus pandemic, but in the last year, requirements have come back, pushing many low-income adults off the government-provided health care.
The majority, or 69 percent, were removed due to procedural reasons, like a missed deadline or incorrect address as opposed to no longer meeting qualifications.'This is problematic, as some people who have lost coverage may still be eligible, but experiencing problems with accessing care until they can get re-enrolled,' a spokesperson for healthinsurance.org told Newsweek.
